“SO MANY

SCRUBS SUCK”

PAULA BEGOUN, FOUNDER

OF PAULA’S CHOICE

The skincare guru explains

why her UnScrub doesn’t

“There are still so many

abrasive scrubs on the

market that are damaging

to skin, but still, some women

just love a scrub exfoliator.

So, I created one that gives

that double-cleanse feeling

but won’t scrape the skin

causing inflammation and

micro-tears. The jojoba bead

itself is soft and because it

breaks down with pressure,

you can’t overdo it. And

because it dissolves, it’s

biodegradable. That’s why

it’s called the UnScrub.”

“ADAPT YOUR

TAN TO WHAT

YOU’RE

WEARING”

JAMES READ, FOUNDER OF

JAMES READ TAN

The bronzing god

defines the Fashion Tan

(verb: /fash-uhn tan/)

“The fashion tan is when you

only spot tan visible parts of

limbs that poke out from your

clothing. As the weather

cools, it’s not necessary to

have everything bronzed,

so tan according to the

fashion you’re wearing.”

Used in a sentence:

“Since embracing grandpa

sneakers and bike shorts,

I haven’t had to worry about

tanning my whole leg — I just

fashion tan below my knee.”

I’M ALWAYS

TRYING

TO FIND A

SOLUTION

TO HAIR

PROBLEMS”

The Parisian colourist has

made home colour

shockingly simple

When Christophe Robin isn’t

travelling the world, he’s

behind the chair at his 2nd

arrondissement salon,

painting the strands of clients

like Elle Macpherson. His

new no-skill-needed at-home

colour, however, may put

him out of business. “There’s

no mixing and it lasts five to

eight shampoos,” he says.

It colours greys with ease

• just paint it on with the
  toothbrush-like tool that
  manoeuvres around the
  hairline. There are only four
  shades, designed to adapt
  to a range of natural
  colours, and because the
  product doesn’t oxidise, you
  can toss it in your cabinet
  and use it again. And you
  don’t need a hazmat mask
  as it’s free of ammonia and
  peroxide. C’est super.E
